Life Contains More Surprises and Twists Than Most Teens Could Ever Imagine

(BIRMINGHAM, Ala.)—Mar. 31, 2010—What is my future? Who might I marry? Where will I go to college? All of these are questions that many young adults ask themselves frequently.

These decisions are determined by who you are truly on the inside—what you’ve built the foundation of your life upon. So what is that foundation? Do you know why you believe what you believe?

In Crash Course: Forming a Faith Foundation for Life (978-1-59669-285-5, N114130, $14.99), Daniel Darling leads you on a fast-paced, 100-day journey to formation a solid foundation of faith for the rest of your life.

“Crash Course is a must for every teen’s backpack” says Susie Shellenberger, editor of SUSIE Magazine.

These short devotionals guide you

to know what you believe and why you believe it;
to make good choices;
to find direction;
to stay true in a world of lies;
to find joy in a tough world.

“Crash Course clearly lays out the spiritual foundation you need to get over the hurdles and around the unexpected turns of life,” says Chandra Peele, author of Cherished, Radiant, and Priceless. “When you consider the longevity of life, 100 days of packed-out devotions by Daniel Darling really is a Crash Course; one every Christian student needs to succeed in.”
